Would Create MonopolIes.

HALIFAX, y. S, April IA change OF
feeling has occurred in Newfoundland over
the halt bill. The Herald publishes St.
Johns letter which says: ''The opposition
has shown the Legislature and the country
that the Bait bill is powerleSs, even if as
sented to, to prevent the French and
Americans from procuring halt, and that
il would create unbearable mOnopolies IN
the bait, banking and herring fisheries and
ruin thousands Of our fishermen. AGAIN
and again they sounded tins alarm, out
,be Government suppressed their speeches.
They protested and spoke against the bill,
and the Government dared not suppress
their speeches second time. From being
a popular measure the bill has become a
most unpopular one, and it is safe TO say
that the Government itself will now take
steps to have it diSallowed."

CLEVELAND, April l.-Au important
meeting Of railroad companies interested
in the Lake Erie coal trade was held this
morning at the Lake Shore Office. 1t was

to Toledo, - cents; Pittsburk to lake
ports, 81 Since that meeting was held
operators in the Pittsburg district have
felt that the Hooking Valley rate against

ton of the Pittsburg rate. The meeting
was called to-day for the purpose of con-
sidering that request. Nothing whatever
was accomplished and the rates remain rs
established March 10. The Hooking Val
ley people would not assent to a reduction
in its differential and threatened to reduce
its rates if the Pennsylvania roads did
theirs.

Three Hundred Men Perished.
Halifax, n. S, April Captain
Barry, commander of the Arctic steamer
Alert, who is an old Newfoundland sealing
skipper, says the reports from st. Johns
leave no possible hope for the Eagle and
her crew.
lie came here from st. Johns few days
ago. He was intimately acquainted with
the Eagle and her commander, Jaekman.
| He cannot understand the reports about
the condition of the steamers boilers. He
SAYS she was fitted with new boilers this
winter. The Eagle was 3i3 tons register,
aud was built at Dundee in $50 especially
for the seal and whale fisheries. The retit-
| ting this winter cost $25, 900.
Captain Barry witnessed her trial trip in
! st. Johns harbOr on the I'd inst. She then
carried 30 pounds of steam pressure, and
! the ordinary pressure on Il cruise would be
| 20 pounds She sailed on her last voyage
from st. Johns on the morning of the 10th
| inst, and sailed north, doubtless joining
the rest of the fleet that day. The fleet
invariably keep together, and generally
| lliNl lli' lllNl vi - VII
Bay. 1t rarely happens that one of fleet Is
not seen or reported for an interval longer
than three days.
Sailors who reached st. Johns by Tire last
mail boat told Captain Barry of the fearful
sea that swept along the north coast on the
night of the llth. Funk's Island is the
most dangerous and dreaded spot on the
Newfoundland coast. 1t is barren rock
about two miles in area, rising up out OF
the water about sixty feet. 1t is entirely
unapprOachable, the sea for miles around
it being constantly beaten into the widest
fury upon sunkeu rocks.
Captain Barry believes there were fully
300 men on the Eagle. Every abe-bodied
man wanted to go to the seal fisheries this
year, for this was their greatest hope after
the great distress OF the winter.

ably 300, 900 tenants in Ireland would
make this declaration. This would give
each Judge 5000 reimbursement cases
to take care of. 1t would take years to
dispose of them. Meanwhile landlords
would obtain nothing. The bill offered
by Parnell is mercy itself to landlords
compared with this measure.
